One of my favorite tricks-of-the-trade is using Google to recover content which has been lost. Whether the content is deleted from a non-versioning CMS package or accidentitaly deleted in HTML, Google usually is a good way to recover content. Here’s how:
Say I just deleted the content on our Imulus Solutions page by mistake.
http://www.imulus.com/solutions
I’ll head over to Google.com and do a web search for”Imulus Solutions”
Click on the “CACHED” link and you’ll see the old content from when Google last indexed your site. Hopefully your site will have been indexed in the last 48 hours.
Copy & Paste your content and your back in business. For advanced users just “view source” copy & paste into your favorite editor and you even will have 95% of the original code back after a few minor tweaks.
